Isolated lesions of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) are rare and occur mainly in cases of concomitant lesions of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and multi ligament lesions of the knee.
We report the case of a 40-year-old woman who had an accident with direct impact on her knee. Initially, she was treated with a conservative attitude, but due to persistent varus knee pain, an MRI showed a total rupture of the LCL. We decided to treat it surgically with an IT band autograft measuring 16x2 cm.
LCL rupture is a very rare event, usually occurring with concomitant injury to the ACL, PCL and other knee ligaments.
It is potentially responsible for the painful instability and varus disorder of the knee, which increases compressive forces on the medial knee joint.
Early preoperative diagnosis is recommended to prevent these complications.
The aim is to present a successful surgical management of LCL rupture.
